Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Hummus

    In a food processor, combine 1 can (15 oz) of drained chickpeas, 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, and salt to taste. Blend until smooth. Adjust consistency with water if needed.

  2. 2

    Make Baba Ganoush

    Roast 1 medium eggplant in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 30 minutes until soft. Let it cool, then scoop out the flesh and blend with 2 tablespoons tahini, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, and salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare Za'tar Pita

    Brush pita bread with olive oil and sprinkle za'tar seasoning on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warm and slightly crispy.

  4. 4

    Fry Falafel

    Shape falafel mixture into balls and fry in hot oil until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Prepare Grape Leaves

    If using canned grape leaves, rinse and drain them. If making stuffed grape leaves, prepare the filling and roll the leaves tightly.

  6. 6

    Assemble Salad

    Toss together chopped lettuce, cucumber, and tomato with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
